The Final Shard Jump

One thing I can’t get a good handle on, is when the shards do a jump. Or, back to hockeyspeak, when they take a shot at the goal. I didn’t think it was exactly 5 pm but everyone is acting like it. That works for me. I followed the action as best I could from a PC and watching intel maps.

Santa Rosa Island at 4:58 pm.

Enlightened have the shard portal, but no links. Two lovely blocking links are southeast of the portal as well, and Resistance agents are standing on top of the portals. No apparent Enlightened agents around.

Santa Monica, 5:00 pm

In Santa Monica at the Big Project, the Enlightened have the portal, and there are a ton of extraneous blocking links out there. This is good news – how can they score if things look like this ?

5:01 pm. Still safe.

5:02. Wow – the blocking links are all gone !!!!!!

Now, if they had the shard, the Enlightened would score.

5:04

The Resistance agents on the ground just took the shard portal ! Both blocking links are still in place. So it still ain’t happening, apparently.

Way to go Santa Rosa Island team, whoever you guys are/were. Those blocking links, and taking the shard portal at jump time, were fantastic. I bet whatever Enlightened agents were over there – that I couldn’t see on the intel – were simply outplayed very strongly.

So this should be it for the shard game, for the moment. Is there a third period ? Or do we wait for the next shard game to start with portals somewhere else ?
